This document defines and provides examples of several types of figurative language: 1. Similes use "like" or "as" to compare two things, such as "hungry as a horse." 2. Metaphors directly compare two things without using "like" or "as", such as "the girl was a fish in the water." 3. Personification gives human traits to non-human things, for example "the flowers danced in the wind." 4. Alliteration repeats initial consonant sounds, such as "Stan the strong surfer." 5. Onomatopoeia are words that imitate sounds, like "chug chug chug."

Figurative language uses comparisons between two unlike things through devices such as similes, metaphors, and personification. Similes directly compare two things using "like" or "as", while metaphors imply a comparison without using those words. Personification gives human traits to non-human objects. Other figures of speech include imagery, which creates mental pictures, and hyperbole, which exaggerates for effect.
Similes
Figurative language includes metaphors, similes, hyperbole, personification, and idioms. A simile is a type of metaphor that uses "like" or "as" to compare two unrelated things, such as describing the sun as "like a fuchia ornament decorating the sky." For both similes and metaphors, the reader's goal is to determine what two things are being compared and how the author finds them related, and it is important that the two things compared are actually unrelated rather than one just being a description of the other.
Syntax and lexis presentation final 3
This document provides an overview of applied linguistics, semantics, and lexis.

Figurative language lesson plan
The lesson plan is for a 7th grade Read 180 class on Wednesday, October 28, 2009. The objectives are for students to review and identify figurative language outside of written materials, such as in media. Students will review figurative language terms through a PowerPoint presentation and identify terms that represent quotes, clips, and sentences. An assessment activity called "waterfall" will have students work through a worksheet in groups, passing it along when signaled to review as a class. Closure will include thanking students and wishing them a happy Halloween.
The study of language
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It examines how words, phrases and sentences convey meaning based on their conceptual and associative meanings. Semantic analysis helps explain why some sentences are syntactically correct but semantically odd due to mismatches between the semantic features of words. Words fulfill different semantic roles like agent, theme, instrument and location that provide meaning within a situation. Lexical relations like synonymy, antonymy and hyponymy describe how words are related through meaning.
Linguistics5
This document discusses different theories and aspects of semantics, or the study of meaning in language. It covers the referential theory which holds that meaning is derived from what words refer to in reality. The representational theory views words as representations of concepts. There are different types of meaning including conceptual, associative, thematic, and ambiguity. The traditional approach viewed words as the basic semantic units, while the functional approach sees texts and context as important. Pragmatics looks at understanding meaning based on context of the utterance. The document also discusses semantic relations between words like synonymy, antonymy, meronymy, hyponymy, polysemy, and homonymy.
4. semantics
This document discusses semantics, which is the study of meaning in language. It covers conceptual meaning, which conveys the basic meaning of a word, versus associative meaning, which involves personal associations. Semantic features and roles are also discussed, including agent/theme roles, instrument/experiencer roles, and location/source/goal roles used to analyze sentence meaning. Syntax structure and semantic features that distinguish words like animate/human are presented as examples.

Word meaning
This document discusses different types of word meaning:
1) Conceptual meaning refers to the basic or core meaning of a word.
2) Associative meaning involves associations with other words or contexts of use.
3) Social meaning conveys information about social contexts or circumstances of use through differences in formality or dialect.
Examples are given of words with different social meanings based on context or region. The document also discusses related linguistic concepts like synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, hyponymy, and idioms.
Rhyme scheme, rhythm, and meter final
The document provides information about rhyme scheme, rhythm, and meter in poetry. It explains that rhyme scheme refers to the pattern of rhyming lines, which can be represented using letters of the alphabet. Understanding rhyme scheme can help unlock the meaning and structure of a poem. The document also defines different types of meter, including iambic pentameter, and explains how meter contributes to the rhythm and meaning of a poetic work. In the example poem, the document demonstrates how to identify and notate the rhyme scheme and meter.
Figurative language simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole
This document defines and provides examples of different types of figurative language including simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, alliteration, and onomatopoeia. It explains that figurative language creates vivid images for the reader through comparisons, repetitions, exaggerations, and imitations to engage the audience. Examples of each technique are provided to illustrate the literal and figurative meanings.
Semantics
This document discusses semantics, which is the study of meaning in language. It defines semantics as the analysis of meaning of words, phrases, and sentences. It then discusses different types of meaning, including conceptual meaning, which refers to the linguistic function of a word, and associative meaning, which deals with additional concepts linked to words. The document also covers semantic features, roles, and lexical relations that provide meaning, such as synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, and polysemy.
Lexicology
Lexicology is the branch of linguistics that studies vocabulary and words. It has two main subfields: general lexicology which studies words irrespective of language, and special lexicology which studies the vocabulary of a specific language. Special lexicology can be further divided into synchronic lexicology, which looks at vocabulary at a single time period, and diachronic lexicology which studies how vocabulary changes over time. Lexicology is concerned with individual words, their structure and meaning, and how vocabulary is used in a language as a whole. It is connected to other fields like grammar, phonetics, stylistics and sociolinguistics as vocabulary interacts with these other aspects of language. Semantics is the study of word
Types of meaning
The document discusses different types of meaning in language as classified by linguist G. Leech. It describes conceptual meaning as the essential, logical meaning of language. Associative meaning includes connotative meaning, which is the additional implied meaning beyond conceptual content, as well as social, affective, reflective, collocative, and thematic meanings. Connotative meaning can vary between cultures and individuals and is more unstable than conceptual meaning. Social meaning conveys information about language usage contexts. Affective meaning shows attitude and evaluation. Reflective meaning arises from multiple conceptual meanings. Collocative meaning comes from words that commonly occur together. Thematic meaning is based on how the speaker organizes their message.
Semantics
Semantics is the study of meanings of words, phrases and sentences. It involves analyzing conceptual meanings, which are the basic components of a word's meaning, and associative meanings, which are connotations attached to a word. Semantics also examines how words fulfill roles like agent, theme, and experiencer within sentences, and lexical relations between words such as synonyms, antonyms, and polysemy.
Semantics: Meanings of Language
This document discusses semantics, or the meaning of language. It covers lexical semantics including word meanings and relationships like synonyms, antonyms, and polysemy. It also discusses sentential semantics and how meaning is constructed from larger syntactic units. Conceptual and associative meanings are described. Lexical relations like hyponymy and homophony are explained. The document concludes by discussing semantic features, roles, and references used in semantic analysis.
